Dear All,is there the possibility to create a custom search based on specific space/folder? :? I created a customized space with custom content type. Now I need to create a search only for this space without the Advanced Search customizationsIs it possible?Thanks in advance,Valentina

I just did something much like this. I have some spaces where navigation is meaningless because the space contains tens of thousands of folders with non-meaningful names. So I thought to eliminate navigation from the UI and just present search. When you browse to the space, you are presented with a search form.

I overrode browse.jsp navigation for the space's content type in web-client-custom.xml. The new page I created was based on advanced-search.jsp. I removed some fields, then I added the custom fields that can be in content that lives inside this space. I created new instances of AdvancedSearchDialog and SearchProperties in my faces-config-custom.xml. I made the new page pointed to those beans.

This works great except that I'm hitting this bug: [#ALF-2856] Space returns to browse view after completing Add Content dialog; need a way to return to custom view.

Thanks for your reply. Could you please give me more details on your steps? I don't understand how to create new page…Is it located in the same folder of browse.jsp?
Thanks again for your help! ^_^
